Abstract
Equitable social determinants of health (SDOH) screening has been recommended by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and the Joint Commission; however, little is known about Spanish-speaking caregiver preferences on how they would like to be screened. We conducted a cross-sectional study at 3 pediatric clinics (October-December 2019). Caregivers completed (in English or Spanish) an SDOH screening preferences survey. Three hundred eighty-two of 443 caregivers approached (response rate = 86.2%) completed the survey. Most were female, preferred Spanish, and completed only high school. Spanish-speaking caregivers had greater odds of preferring verbal SDOH screening (odds ratio: 4.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.8-9.2) than English-speaking caregivers. Verbal SDOH screening should be a consideration in families who speak Spanish. Future studies should utilize qualitative methods to further explore Spanish-speaking caregiver preferences for SDOH screening.
